Bones!

Today we learned about bones! A read a book about the skeleton to me. It showed how we need joints to be able to move. A had to answer a series of questions about the skeleton...about what the skull protects etc. Then we had to do an experiment!

We had to try walking around the house with no knee joints......so we couldn't bend our legs at all....then we had to try and climb the stairs - that is NOT easy with no knees!

After that we had to try and do things with no elbows! I had A try and eat some mini marshmallows with no elbows - it is almost impossible without eating like a dog! So in the end we figured out we could try and throw the marshmallows in the air with a flick of the spoon and catch them. Here is A trying it out!
